Lies, god made earth made in 6 days.?

Question

I know no one really believes the above but, when it was written, they really did believe it.

However, if earth took 6 days, and there are several planets in our solar system. Lets say each took 1 day cos no life etc. then lets say our solar system took around 2 weeks to create. There are over 3 Billion stars in our Milky way galaxy. lets say that no other star has any planets. (Just for arguments sake.)
There billions of galaxies, and billions yet again of clustyers, and billions yet again of super clusters.
All this creation takes longer than the life of the universe as we know from the Big Bang, which even the vaticans own astomomers believe.

Where did the maths go wrong.

Answer 1

Great point! The Vatican realizes that the Bible is not a SCIENCE manual, but rather a SPIRITUAL manual. A Vatican priest (Georges LeMaitre) actually convinced Albert Einstein to correct part of his Theory of Relativity. Einstein used a "fudge factor" in his theory called the Cosmological Constant in order to conform to the *Bible's account of creation!*

Imagine that...the Catholic Church accepting modern science, and actually persuading one of the most brilliant men who ever lived to correct himself! It's a shame it took the Catholic Church so long to embrace the ideas of modern science. Copernicus and Galileo were certainly victims of the early Church's phobic oppression. Thank God some religions can accept scientific facts that contradict their respective "scriptures". I hope more of them follow suit.

P.S... If someone tells you that their "Holy Book" contains scientific facts which were not known until recently, don't laugh at them. It will make them mad. Just tell them "I know" and they'll usually shut up, and stop trying to use lies to attract you to their false religion. You can't show them that flesh comes BEFORE bones, or that stars are NOT lamps in the stratosphere that protect us from evil spirits. They simply don't listen, and use convoluded double talk, excuses, and diversionary tactics to avoid the truth.

Peace!

Answer 2

Your logic is very flawed. (Some) Christians scientists do believe in the Big Bang. there had to be something there to start it all, so why not God.

Christian scientists (some) also believe that the Genesis version does not describe the origin of the planet, as much as it describes the re-genesis of the earth after a great cataclism (like a meteor wiping out the dinosaurs).

God also said that a day is as a 1000 years and a 1000 years is as a day, so for Him, 6 days could mean anything amount of time.

Any theory you may have will contain just as many holes as the ones supported by the Church. It will remain then, a question of faith.

Answer 3

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth...ok?
Now (during this time) the Earth was without form, and void...you with me so far...??
Ok, now the spirit of God moved upon the waters (of Earth)...saw the darkness...he saw the light divided the darkness...this was the first day on Earth. The timeline presented is that the Universe was already established when God started on the Earth. He had plenty of time to fool around with other planets and could also be busy with more than one at a time according to what is written.
The math is not wrong at all and there is no contradiction.

Answer 4

First off, your initial premise is incorrect, most of true Christendom accepts the Genesis account of creation. Then, you throw out all kinds of assumptions with no basis in truth. If God wished, He could have created the entire universe in an instant, by just speaking, Also, the Big Bang is a fallacious idea with many problems. For one thing, you are assuming that an explosion brought order to disorder. Can you think of any other time when an explosion of anything brought more order? Also, you are assuming by accepting the Big Bang idea that there was a beginning, therefore, someone had to initiate the explosion, they just don't happen on their own. Also, we don't accept the words of anyone from the Vatican as gospel, they have been wrong before.

Answer 5

God must have been multi-tasking. He must have made a whole bunch of planets and stars all at the same time. If you believe that God made the earth and all life on it in six days, how hard is it to believe that he made all the other billions of stars and planets at the same time? I think a more interesting question might be that if there is life on some of those other planets, did God send little saviors down to all those planets to, or only Earth?

Answer 6

Actually the other planets were made, probably on the third day, as were the stars. It doesn't really matter how many stars are in the universe, and it doesn't matter about galaxies, which were probably made on the third day, again because of the stars, but it really doesn't matter, because once you accept that God is omnipotent(all-powerful), you can believe that He did create the universe in six days. Really it doesn't matter what the time, or how long it took, He could of created the universe in six seconds if He wanted to. I believe that God made the earth in six days.

Answer 7

Math went wrong in making God so small and powerless. No problem for God to make the universe in 6 days when He is able to do anything. If He formed this Earth, He had to be pretty big and strong for that. Even if you had a big bang that you seem to think happened, someone or something had to contain it or make it. Or did you find a nice porche in your garage today that started as a puddle of oil? God is all powerful and nothing is too much for Him to do if He so chooses.

Answer 8

Actually I believe God made the earth in 6 days. But then I know that God could make the earth in 6 seconds if had chosen to. He's God so stop trying to prove he isn't real.

Answer 9

I wouldn't say nobody believes it... seems alot of people do. One thought that occured to me is that on the first "day" God created light.... there was no earth to rotate for 24 hours (that's what a day is, of course) at that point.. obviously the term day shouldn't be taken literally. also, anything with that kind of power could make light appear instantly. why wait another 23 hours + to do the next thing on the list??

Answer 10

How do you know they didn't believe it when it was written? Do you time travel? It was written several hundred years before Christ as an explanation as to how the world came about. If you're talking about math and the bible, then you are buying into the whole bible as a science book thing.

Answer 11

The fact that no other planets are menioned in Genesis shows that the bible was written by man from man's point of view at the time.

age of the earth = 6,000 years (margin of error = 4.5 billion)
